The **@utils** global variable has been create to store useful values. 

At this moment **@utils** contains only two fields:

**currentYear** which can be used to create footers which will contain proper year value after the website sync:

```handlebars
Copyright by X {{@utils.currentYear}}. All rights reserved.
```

**buildDate** - it returns the build timestamp, which can be used to generate the human-readable date along with the [date](#INTERNAL_LINK#/post/28) helper:

```handlebars
{{date @utils.buildDate 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm'}}
```
